Who doesn’t love hot chocolate?

I don’t know anybody that doesn’t love hot chocolate?

This Keto version will not disappoint! I have tried many different combinations before settling on this recipe as my go-to when I want a hug in a mug.

Keto Hot Chocolate

This is perfect if you come in from a cold winter walk – or you have the girls around and you’re wanting a non-alcoholic drink to make all of the wrongs in the world seem right.

At only 3g of carbs, you cannot go wrong?

A ‘normal’ hot chocolate that you would pick up in a coffee shop will contain around 25g of carbs, and let’s face it if you’re having hot chocolate in a coffee shop, it’s going to be topped with sugar-laden cream, and marshmallows. Not the keto-friendly, low sugar options that you can make at home.

How to avoid lumps..

…I’ve been trying to do that all of my life!

In order to avoid lumps in this keto hot chocolate, I use a super cheap electric whisk.

This quickly blitz out any lump and makes a silky smooth drink that glides down far too easily.

Whatever you do, do not try and mix the hot liquid in your NutriBullet as I did – it exploded all over the kitchen! I was finding evidence of the crime for weeks after….not my finest moment!

Mixing up the flavours – Add a seasonal flavour to your keto-friendly hot chocolate!

I love trying out all of the seasonal flavors in the coffee shops. This keto take on hot chocolate is no different.

I love using the Skinny syrups to mix up my hot chocolate as well as other foods. For this recipe why not try adding a cap full of one of these flavors to give it a seasonal twist?

Flavors to add to your keto hot chocolate;

Hazlenut

Vanilla

Chocolate (for an extra chocolaty taste)

Chocolate Orange

Maple Syrup

Cookie flavor drops

Gingerbread (this is my winter favorite!!)

Hazelnut is my go-to flavor. I love it in my keto-friendly hot chocolate as well as in my coffee, and even sometimes my morning BPC! Chocolate orange or salted caramel is my winter go-to’s! Don’t forget, you can add a big dollop of fresh whipped double cream to the top of your hot choc.

Really want to go the extra mile? Why not grate some 90% Lindt chocolate for the perfect finish?

Skinny Syrups Zero Calorie Syrup range has zero calories, zero sugar, zero dairy, zero gluten. Despite this their syrups pack in the flavor! These are perfect for keto and are 100% guilt-free #sorrynotsorry!
